Rear Swaybar Upside down
I think my rear sway bar was installed upside down. What are the side affects of the rear sway bar being installed upside down?

Well on my car it would be hitting the exhaust pipes and the ABS mount.

I wouldn't take sharps turns at high speeds. Just put it the right way it will take more time to lift and secure the car then to fix it.

I dought that the endlinks have alot of room to play but it is a good time to upgrade to the metal ones though.

If the bar ends are below the lower control arms it is upside down.
